SOUTH SEA IMAGES.

Gigantic Relies Found On the Ponape
and Easter Islands.
The success of one of our men-of-war
IN securing one of the above images
from Easter Island for the Smithsonian
Institute has given fresh interest to the
peculiar remains on this little
island on the coast of Chile
Ihe origin of these inn
ages has been the puzzle of savants for
years, but it is only recently that it has
been discovered that similar erections
exist upon the Island of Ponape. or As
cension. one of the Caroline group. sit
uated in north latitude deg. 81 min.
and east longitude 158 deg. "a min. in
the Pacific Ocean. But little is known
to the general public regarding islands
on the Pacific out of the beaten track
OF voyageurs. The whalemen, how
ever, that pursue the large cetacean
known as the sperm variety, in the
tropical seas, visit these delightful
hooks to replenish their stock of provis-
ions and to lay in a store of
fruits, pigs, and other provender,
before proceeding on their Arctic
cruise. The lazy life that
the islanders lead, the enervating eli
mate and desire to escape the work
on board ship. have been the causes of
many sailors deserving at the points
touched. Lured by the dark eyes and
graceful forms of the dusky island
women, they remain and lead dolce
far 1aie'ate life. Upon many of the
islands that dot the vast Pacific. these
'beach-combers" are to be found, everv
Jack his Jill and host of children
around him.
The Caroline group of islands belong
TO Spain, but. as is characteristic of the
Spanish, nothing has been done in the
way of exploration, and little is known
of them, except by traders or whalers.
Guam is the port. but at the islands of
Saipan and Ponape whalers stop to re- |
cruit From information obtained by |
q representative from one of the whai- |
ing captains the following account of
the ancient ruins, situated upon Pc
nape, was obtained:
1.-THE beach of glistening white sand
and coral remains has a growth of
rank grass, reaching almost to the
water line. Dense groves of palm,
cocoanut and cloth trees surround the
village of huts, through which the
pathway to the ruins runs. Over
basaltic rocks and volcanic debris, inter-
mingled with obsidian. visitors are

terraces of stone rise. step by step, rp

! the hillside. These terraces are prob
ably a hundred yards in length and
vary from twenty to thirty feet in
width. The size of these terraces is in
significant when the topmOst structure
| is reached.
A wall of whitish stone rises at the
summit nearly thirty feet high and
forming an irregular rectangle. The
stones composing the wall are from five
to six feet in length and
eight to ten feet thick, each stone
weighing several tons. Although
the sides of these gigantic stones are
perfectly smooth and of nearly equal
proportions, there is not the fain1est
sign of chisel mark No cement has
been used to lay them in position and
gaps occur at intervals. At the single
gateway, or entrance, stand two stone
monoliths over thirty feet high, each
having at the top an immense bowl.
Passing through the entrance a stone
altar is to be seen in the center of the
Enclosure. This altar is also composed
of stone, but the texture seems to differ
from that used to build the wall, al
though similar In color. Two flights of
steps surround this elevation, which
has an immense tree @ owing in the
center. In its growth the tree has dis
placed the huge stones Of the altar and
the north side is now out of its level.
Parasitical vines and underground run
over the walls through the crevices and
hang in graceful festoons from the
branches of the trees. Alarmed at
mans approach beautiful golden green
lizards, with backs gli5tening in the
bright sunlight, dart to and fro through
the brush, but no venomous reptiles are
found.
By what race these buildings were
constructed is a mystery. The natives
do not know; neither have they any
tradition regarding them. To move
such cyclOpean stones must have re-
quired immense labor and appliances,
and unless the prOgenitors of the pres
ent racesof natives were possessed of a
knowledge of the mechanical arts it is
difficult to imagine who were the build |
ers. Similar gigantic ruins and inn
ages are known to exist in the Pacific |
islands only on Easter Island. The !
origin of these structures is surrounded |
with mystery and psychologists attrib- |
ute their raising to a forgotten race. |
Among the rice and yam fields on
Saipan island may be seen monoliths
with bowls on their tops, but of small
The natives call these
stones O9dces and state that their uses
are for landmarks
The only recorded visit to Ponape by
any scientific individuals was in 1866,
when the Austrian frigate Novara
called at the island. Other than this
he existence of these interesting ruins

A GREEK MAIDEN.

A vision and dream of life and bliss;
Sweet carved lips for a conqUerors kiss,
Lips With the red pomegranate heart,
That somewhat pouted a little apart;
Hair as heck
Of Hyblean honey across the white
OF brow and bosom; eyes at night,
Yea, dark moist eyes with core of fire,
A woadrous CLINT from the souls desire,
With sting in their ray,
Beauty that reused and dazed with its sheen,
For never a fairer woman ween,

The Delaware College Review,a college
journal published monthly for the past
five years, will not be published this year.
II was owned by the Delaware College
Press Association, which wac composed Of
a majority of the students Of the college,
and bad circulation Of 1000 per month.
It never paid more than expenses and last
year 1t fell short of that. Its failure Is
principally due to bad advertisements. 1t
was an excellent journal of its kind and
all true friends of the college will be
sorry TO hear that the Press Association
has decided to discontinue It's publication,
An effort should be made TO revive the in
